Admission Guide

Dragon Shooters (hereafter “DS”) is the football club for children mainly for Japanese living in Hong Kong and it was established in 1994 by their parents.

Team members are students who go to Hong Kong Japanse School (located in Hong Kong Island), Japanese International School (located in Taipo, New Territory) or other International Schools as well as other nationals (Non-Japanese). They are children of expatriates assigned to Hong Kong as well as parents who permanently reside in Hong Kong. Through football training, children can have very good friendship apart from their experience in schools.

Since DS has joined “Hong Kong Junior Football League” as the first Japanese team, every year children play official football matches in the season from September to May in the age category from Under 8 (years old) to Under 12 (years old). In addition, we have a girl's team which also participates girl's matches as well.We believe that it must be physically as well as mentally great for children to play football with other nationals in these ages.

DS is managed by parents themselves and not a profit organization. Therefore everything is arranged by voluntary supports by parents. As we have some coaches who never have experience in playing football, a non-experienced coach is also very welcome.

As a child can join us at any time, please take your children for trial lesson.
